Larry will be in Washington (again) next week for two events: 1.  March 1 – TechFreedom is sponsoring an event to review my white paper on the FCC’s December, 2010 Report and Order on the Open Internet.  The event is free, but RSVP is required.  Commentators include Internet pioneer Dave Farber, Free State Foundation’s Randolph [...]

I’m pleased to announce that I will be a regular contributor to Forbes Magazine’s high-profile website, www.forbes.com, starting immediately.  Forbes is one of the most-visited websites for news and commentary on business, investing, technology and leadership. I’ll be writing about the increasingly accident-prone intersection of business, technology, and politics, especially as it applies to the [...]

Larry has been called as an expert witness by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition, and the Internet to testify on Tuesday, Feb. 15th. Larry’s testimony will address the Federal Communications Commission’s Dec. 23, 2010 Report and Order on Preserving the Open Internet–aka the infamous net neutrality [...]

Larry will be speaking next week at Google’s Washington D.C. offices as part of the “Future Tense” series of conferences.  “Future Tense” is a joint venture of the New America Foundation, Slate.com, and Arizona State University. The program, taking place Feb. 3 and 4th, is titled “Here be Dragons:  Governing a Technologically Uncertain Future.“    The [...]

After publishing several guest columns with CNET News.com, Larry has joined CNET’s Blog Network, a group of bloggers who contribute regularly to the site. (Larry is not an employee of CNET or its parent, CBS Interactive.) Larry will continue to post regularly on the intersection of technology, politics, and business.

I have two essays–one on privacy and the other on information economics, appearing in a new book called “The Next Digital Decade.” The book, edited by Berin Szoka and Adam Marcus, is a unique collaboration from 26 thought leaders on Internet law, philosophy, policy and economics. The book is available as a free PDF and the hardcover [...]

Larry will be speaking at the 2011 State of the Net conference, sponsored by the Advisory Committee to the Congressional Internet Caucus, on Jan. 18, 2011.  He will address net neutrality and other federal regulatory activity of Internet infrastructure from the Silicon Valley perspective.

Larry was interviewed this morning on NPR’s Marketplace Tech Report.  Larry talks about why the FCC’s proposed net neutrality rules treat wireless broadband with a lighter touch than they do for wired access.  Given the explosion in demand and the limited ability for carriers to add towers, increase capacity, and access additional radio spectrum (itself [...]

I’ve written an op-ed today in Roll Call urging the FCC to resist the siren call to “reclassify” broadband Internet access as a way to shore up its net neutrality authority.  Recent legislative progress suggests the rational parties in this debate are very close to compromise, as they have been all along.  But those who [...]

Larry has an op-ed titled “Net Neutrality is a Technical, not a Political Problem” in today’s San Francisco Chronicle.  He responds to an editorial that ran earlier this week in the paper calling for the FCC to pull the trigger on reclassifying broadband as a “common carrier” service.
